CHICAGO, Dec. 27-lSpecial Telegram to

with an advance over Mondays prices Of 100
15c on the ordinary run Of good and useful
natives, making prices about the same as
Friday and Saturday, barely as strong maybe
iii all cases, but the quality of the stock is
not as desirable by long odds. Shippers
wanted some stock to-day and there were
unexpected outside orders that helped to
wake up the demand and clear out all desira-
BILE lots at an early hour. Texans were
scarce, but that fact did not seem to stimu-
late prices on common native culls and thin
bulls, as such sold as low as at any time, yet
good cows and heifers, such as city butchers
and dressed beef operators can use, sold a
shade better. There was little or nothing

New YORK, Dec. Especial Telegram to

market was the activity and advance in
Reading and Lackawanna The strike on the
Reading, which the bears thought would
cause sharp decline, is said to be settled,
the men surrendering Internationally, but
everything was reported to be running as
smoothly as possible after two holidays.
There was no disposition to sell any stocks
but a decided desire on the part of shorts to
cover. Deacon S. v. White, who is spending
the holidays in Wall street, led the bull
forces and from the way prices were marked
up, they had comparatively easy sailing
Lackawanna advanced 1A per cent. Read
ing, after an opening of IL, advanced 2
points. The strength displayed by these
stocks stimulated buying in others and i'm
provements of l4@l4 per cent were recorded
The earnings for the third week in December
show larger gains than generally expected

Do Birds Fly Down.

This query has recently been made
a subject of some considerable dis
cussion among scientists and observ-
ers. Mr. G. F. Holder writes as fol-
lows in st. Nicholas Il see, in back
number of st. Nicholas, that one of
your correspondents appeals partly
to me in regard to birds flying down.
But all who have written seem so
well posted that doubt if l can add
anything to their knowledge. How
ever, [ have seen a California quail, a
wood dove, and a humming-bird
flying downward; but in slow flyers,
with large wings and heavy bodies,
the wings are used more or less as
parachutes III going down; in other
words, the birds spread their wings
and rely upon gravity. This l have
noticed in the sandhill cranes in their
migrations along the Sierra Madres.
A flock. of say hundred, will mount
upward in beautiful spiral. flashing
in the sunlight. all the while uttering
loud discordant notes, until they
attain an altitude of nearly a mile
above the sea level. Then they form
in regular lines, and soar away at an
angle that in five miles, or so, will
bring them within 1000 feet of the
earth. Then they will stop'and begin
the spiral upward movement again
until high eleTation is reached.
when away they go again, sliding
down hill, In the air, toward their
winter home 1t is very evident that
a vast amount of muscular exertion
Is saved in this way. In some of
these slides that / have watched
through glass, birds would pass
from three to four miles, [ should
Judge, without tapping the wings.

He Went Back.

He was little fellow not over
twelve years old. and he was sitting
behind box over at the Omaha depot
the other morning softly crying and
looking very dirty and forlorn.
whats the matter?" we asked.
"Hain't nothin the matter" he SAID
defiantly, sitting up straight. hastily
brushing away his tears and pushing
back his Jacket a little 50 as to dis
play the handle of an old revolver in
his pocket. Then he looked off across
the river 1.-THE strange buildings and
lost his bravery, and buried his head
again and sobbed through his tears:
'0h, mister, I've been a runnin'
away an l want p go home.
'What made you run awaya7
L thought it would be nice, but it
hain't. no 1t hain't," and he rested
his face in his hands and looked the
picture OF woe. Dick Dagger had a
heap o. fun, but [ hain't had Bit
-Who was Dick Dagger"
"DidnJ You ever hear o. him? He
was the boy scout Of the Rockies, an
wanted to be like him. There haint
Indians whatl hurt teller around
here, is there"
No"
Il wouldn't shoot EN- if there was.
Dick shot 'em, but 1 don't want to. l
want to get back home, but mebby [
never will again, and once more his
tears flowed,
where did YOU liver
"0h. l lived down at Marion, IN
Illinois, and it Just about killed me
riding in that old freight car, an I
hurt my knee, an Tn cold and hain't
had no breakfast, nor supper, neither.
1 wish I'd never heard of Dick-I
don't see how he got along so we'll
and if ever [ get home again and see
my-my- ma" but the thought
of his mother was to much for him.
i don't want to hunt Indians or
bears or nothin', nor rescue no maid
ems, an I'm tired Of that old thing"
and he pulled a rusty revolver out of
his pocket that hadn't been fired for
ten years and threw it across the
track. "Please, mister, get me some
thing to eat an I'll work all day for
you" and he looked up pitifully and
Strengthened his little cap on his
curly head.
We took him along and he ate three
or four meals IN one, but even after
that he didn't say a word about exter
minating the Indian. The next day a
grave looking father arrived looking
for very home-sick boy, and they
went back together So the Govern
ment lost another scout, but an anx
ious mother got back boy who will
never run away again.-Ddt0ta Bel.

a Poor Refuge for American Criminals

Speaking Of American robbers 60
ing over into Mexico" said c. R. Bid
ley at the Baldwin last evening. 4
tell you they are new at the business
if ever they seek refuge there 1
don't believe that those robbers Of the
Southern Pacific train in Arizona ever
went to Mexico. l was there seven
or eight years ago in the State Of So
nora. There were not many white
people in the country, and whenever
an American strolled along he was
spotted. Our party, all of whom were
Irish and Germans, were mining
One day a fellow came along and
represented himself as a capitalist
from San Francisco looking up the
resources of the country. He remained
two days, when word reached camp
that murder had been committed in
Pima County, Arizona, and that the
murderer had fled to Mexico. Sim
ultaneously with the arrival of this
news the San Francisco capitalist dis
appeared, without telling US of his
intentions. Within twenty-fOur hours
a hundred armed Mexicans were on
his track One of them lived in
lonely cabin just off mountain trail
The capitalist, who proved to be the
Pima murderer, applied at the cabin
door for food, and without word of
warning was shot down. The body
was dragged off into the woods, and
nobody knew of the affair until two
years or so thereafter, when the Mexi-
can told of it on his deathbed. No,
sir; no American has any show for
